I think they all did. No sliders back then.

All of them had 8-3/4's. Most came with 3.55 or 3.91 open 741 rears.

I have a couple of things I need for my van if you go back there. The parts truck helped a lot, but I still need the side and rear door straps and the brackets and bolts that hold them on the doors.

Dude, don't take this as truth as I'm not real sure. But, I don't think the cargo doors have the straps like the front doors. Looking at a couple of brochures shows the doors fully open. You can also look at the doors themselfs for the holes for the strap brackets.
Also, if you need the straps for the fronts, just go to the fabric store and get some black seat belt material and sew them up. That's what I had to do.

Thanks, I got the front door straps from the parts truck. The side and rear did have straps, but most people took them off. They held the doors to ~90 degrees, so they were a pain since they didn't allow the doors to open all the way. The body side has the same straps as the front doors, but the doors have 2 holes horizontal,not vertical. My van had some of the body side retainers, but none of the straps or the door side retainers. Here is a picture of the holes on the body (White) and the door (Blue Green). All 4 cargo doors and the jams have these.

There were a few with no side doors and a few with side doors on both sides (commonly called 8 doors). Most have the passenger side cargo doors only.
8-door

I saw an A100 8 door window van recently in a local yard. How rare is that?

could have a poly wolly 318 engine in the 65 3/4 2x and D-60,IIRC

the dash shifter are just cool

I think those are the more expensive cable shift auto though
